A playable demo of the eagerly-anticipated Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 has been released by Konami Digital Entertainment.

This demo, available on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, will enable players to become accustomed to the game's new controllable camera, intuitive combat elements and impressive locations.

The demo also acts as an introduction to the full game; players will control Dracula as his castle is attacked by the Brotherhood of Light and its armies. Further, players will be able to gain valuable experience in handling such weapons as the energy-replenishing Void Sword and the armour-destroying Chaos Claws.

Also showcased is a Titan combat sequence in which a moving, monstrous behemoth created by the enemy must be scaled by Dracula as it assaults his castle.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is one of the most ambitious and epic games of the current generation. It's also the astonishing conclusion of the Lords of Shadow saga.
